Aki is a Founding Partner of Nordic Startup Ventures
Often coming around as a mentor and giving extra coaching sessions for startups, Aki is known among Nordic Startup School alumni as the “sales wizard”. What he enjoys is structuring and closing deals that benefit all parties. He appreciates the perspective from doing business in different countries and working with multiple sources of capital. While deal making is his passion he also takes pleasure in helping companies to improve their operations and execution. Despite being a seasoned business executive in start-ups and mid-sized companies he is still eager to learn new and question status quo.
The next technology era will not be defined by software alone. It will be engineered through advances in computing, semiconductors, photonics, intelligent machines, biology, energy, materials, security and space. The decisive question is no longer only what can be invented. It is what can be commercialised, manufactured, adopted and scaled into globally competitive companies and industries.
